The Lumineers – Stubborn Love

The Lumineers are a multi-talented folk rock group based out of Denver whose self-professed “rustic heart on the sleeve music” is brightly soulful, fresh and melodic. The self-titled debut album from this Jersey born trio was released in April and it excels for its simplicity and open-hearted enthusiasm. While the album’s catchy premiere single “Ho Hey” hit the billboard Top 40 earlier this year, the track “Stubborn Love” really stands out for its undaunted affection, joyous discord and beautifully layered sing-along quality. Check out the Lumieers website for their tour details including a series of December shows with The Dave Matthews Band. By Erin Feathers
